RightStart™ Mathematics Level B Second Edition Book Bundle

this has been the perfect fit for our boys and our family. math was a bit of a struggle last year and with this, it's our favorite subject. highly recommend for anyone who's kids enjoy hands on learning, songs and games.

We used a different curriculum for my son's kindergarten year and had to skip through some stuff because it was so redundant. I had looked at Rightstart before, went back and decided to purchase it to finish out our kindergarten year and into 1st. My son learned from the previous curriculum how to do a page of math drills with no problem. But I learned quickly that he didn't understand the concept of 2 parts making a whole. Level B is making him think about how math works and why. I have no plans on switches curriculum's again and will stick with Rightstart through level F. The program teaches math the way I do it mentally and I love it. I also purchased another level to work through with my older daughter.

My daughter is 5 and I have used Montessori materials with her since she was 3 However not being a Montessori teacher I couldn't be sure what I had taught she was retaining and how much practice she needed The worksheets and lessons are just enough and not overwhelming and she wants to just keep playing the math games! We don't even call it math time anymore we call it game session!

I love the visual and hands-on approach to math. This curriculum does a great job of breaking down math concepts and gives students the "why" behind math. The tons of manipulatives are amazing.

We've only done a few of the lessons, but so far my boys are both loving the program. I wish I had learned math this way!

We purchased level B and math set for our five year old along with Level E for seven year old. Within a day of lesson plus game time , our five year old mastered all the number pairs of ten, which seemed a little difficult before. But it's so obvious on abacus now. She also mastered place value using opposite side of abacus when her sister was practicing addiction. What a surprise! I think RightStart Math will build great math foundation for my girls. It's priceless for young children to enjoy and love to learn! That's what we want for our daughters.

I've used a lot of math programs in my 12 years of home schooling. I'm reviewing level B that we just finished. RS is very hands on. In fact, there are very few days of doing any worksheets at all. I'm continually amazed that my 7 year old, after learning math concepts with the manipulatives and abacus, is so quick to grasp the concept that he "sees" the answer in his head. It's not just him. His brother, who has not even started kindergarten yet, just played along with us these past 2 years and he is doing complex math like making change for $1 in his head, understands place value to the 1000s place, and understands 1/4 is 1/2 of 1/2. The boys ask me if they can play the math games all the time. I was shocked when they were learning adding 4 digit numbers that required regrouping. Once my 1st grader learned it on the abacus, he felt it slowed him down to keep doing it that way and was carrying numbers in his head! All the other methods I have used with my other children have made place value and regrouping seem like such a difficult concept to grasp, but this method makes it seem like a logical thing that comes more naturally. I love that more difficult concepts are introduced early on, but they are made easy with the manipulatives. I love that instead of just teaching, you let them discover patterns on their own. That makes them approach problem solving in different ways than I learned but it is more efficient. Don't be fooled by the "just add water" programs that take less time for parent teachers. You will either invest that time now or you will be re-teaching it over and over because they never really grasped it to begin with.

I like teaching math now. The explanations are simple and understandable. I plan to use this program with my 2nd grader as long as the editions are available. I don't think they have middle school yet or high school hoping by the time we get there those are out too. Great program! My second greater enjoys math !!!!

I am a homeschooling mom that also works a part-time job so I have to be very efficient with my time! This math program has been the best and easiest one to teach yet. I LOVE it!! I highly recommend it!! My son has dyslexia but he gets this program and it keeps his interest. I never thought I would see him excited about math!
